Poison Imbuement

Poison Imbuement is a Rogue skill from the Imbuements skill tree. Its features are:

Grants Player	Exploits Condition
Poison Dmg	Critical Strike Chance *

'Creates Condition' means this skill creates this condition i.e it could make a target Vulnerable that other skills can take advantage of.
